One Hand, One Double, One Wine Glass for Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu just sat down with a glass of red wine in hand and wasted no time getting his chips in.
In his first hand at the table, Nitis Udornpim opened to 26,000 and Negreanu jammed a starting stack of 500,000.
"I'm in. Are you in?" Negreanu asked Udornpim.
"F*** it," he replied and called.
Daniel Negreanu: A♥K♣
Nitis Udornpim: A♠Q♣
Negreanu had his opponent dominated but wasn't optimistic. "Last time this didn't hold!"
But the board ran out a safe 10♣7♥7♣3♣2♠ to earn Negreanu a double in his first hand of day — but not of the tournament as Negreanu is already on his ninth tournament bullet.
After the hand, Negreanu complained to table mate Seth Davies that PokerNews makes a fuss about his multiple bullets "while Stephen Chidwick is over there on eight bullets."
"But I'm the bad guy?!" Negreanu yelled before putting on a Russian mob accent. "WELL HERE I AM. I'M THE BAD GUY!"
